But while the official guestlist remains a closely guarded secret, it has been reported that two of Meghan’s closest male relatives might not make the big day, which could lead to Prince William stepping up.

There are suggestions that Meghan’s half-brother Thomas Markle Jr has not actually received an invite to the wedding

A source close to Meghan reportedly told The Daily Star: “Tom did not receive an invite.”

“I think it is because he just can’t seem to keep his mouth shut.”

“If he would quit talking to the media, Meghan would probably be more into the idea of inviting him.”

There are also suggestions that Meghan’s father might not give her away as it is reported that he has struggled to cope with being thrown into the public eye following her romance with Prince Harry.

And Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha Markle, 53, also toldUS Weekly that she believed Meghan’s father would want to walk her down the aisle: “I’m sure he wants to walk her down the aisle. I know he wants to do it.”

“He’s a shy guy now, he’s a quiet man, but he’ll speak when he feels it’s appropriate. He gave me permission to say how happy he is, but he’ll talk when he’s ready,” she added.

Maybe Meghan’s dad has had a change of heart or perhaps his daughter is just worried about how he’ll cope about being thrown into the spotlight that the role will no doubt bring.

“She’s also worried about how he would handle it as he’s become even more of a recluse,” a source told the Daily Star.

There are also rumours of some family upset following comments from Prince Harry that Meghan was getting the family she’s never had.
